Aeithyln Laetria Sorrena gave her all to Marco Larkin De Rausch, until he walked away with nothing but silence, and the cruelest words. Left alone in the ruins of the life they built, she questioned everything. Love, loyalty, and what it means to choose someone who didn't choose you.

But time has a strange way of watering the roots we thought had long withered.

Five years later, their paths cross again. Older. Changed. Still healing from a love that once broke them. And when Aeithyln stands before Larkin once more, the past returns - not to haunt, but to ask a question of its own:

Was their ending truly the end... or just the beginning buried beneath the wreckage?All Rights Reserved

A Piece of You : Kieth and Anne by K1NG_KAITO

by Rhymzeil Jann "K1NG_KAITO" Berdera or Nightowl. > "He saw the future - and chose to die for the girl he loved." Anne Orevilo never believed in fate until she met Kieth "Kit²" Yaniham - a quiet musician with eyes that seemed to see beyond time. Their love began with laughter, late-night melodies, and dreams of forever. But forever, it seemed, had other plans. When a tragic accident takes Kieth's life, Anne's world falls silent... until the day his unfinished song reappears - A Piece of You. As Anne performs the song that once belonged to both of them, she starts to hear and feel things that defy logic - a familiar strum, a whispered voice, the presence of the man she lost. Each note uncovers pieces of Kieth's secret - his visions of the future, his choice to die for her, and the message he left hidden in their melody. Now, through music, Anne learns that some loves are written not in time - but in sound, in memory, in eternity. Because even death can't silence a heart that beats for someone who left behind... a piece of you. --- Genre: Romantic Tragedy | Supernatural | Musical Drama Themes: Love after loss, fate, sacrifice, eternal connection Inspired by: The song that keeps two souls together - even beyond life, Nathaniel Constantin, and my dear skylight. ---

Unwritten by livingirly

Across the endless tapestry of lifetimes, their story remained achingly the same. She had etched the endings into her very soul: a heart-wrenching farewell at the precipice of a crumbling world, his silhouette fading into the rain, a bullet-meant for her-buried deep in his chest. In some tales, they never crossed paths. In others, they fell into a love so profound, only to be ripped apart by the merciless hands of time, the ravages of war, the sting of betrayal-always something. Always doomed. She had borne witness to them all. Thousands of lives, each a testament to their failures. The threads of fate wove them together with a cruel consistency, only to unravel them in the most heart-wrenching of ways. But this time-this version-was hers.

Lilly Of The Valley by Just_Call_Me_Crimson

He was the storm. She was the silence. But even storms bow to the flower that refuses to break. Lilly doesn't speak-not because she can't, but because silence is safer than trust. After surviving years of pain, betrayal, and a mother who chose cruelty over comfort, she's learned to hide in the shadows of her own mind. But when a stranger pulls her out of the darkness and into a world more dangerous than she imagined, Lilly finds herself face-to-face with Jayden Anderson. He's cold, commanding, and feared by everyone. The heir to the Anderson mafia empire-someone who's supposed to destroy people like her. But Jayden sees her. Not just the scars she carries or the quiet strength she wears like armor-but the girl buried underneath it all. When secrets from the past resurface, and betrayal cuts deeper than any blade, Lilly is forced to question everything-including the man she thought would never hurt her. Because in a world of blood and lies, even flowers can be used as weapons.

AFTER THE FINAL BELL by yoshigreta

In a world where silence speaks louder than words... Kavya thought she had buried her past. But when Vivaan-her once everything, now a stranger-walks back into her life, the walls she's built begin to crack. With every unspoken word and stolen glance, the past claws its way back. Love, betrayal, unfinished confessions-and a silence that burns hotter than fire. Because some things are never truly over... They thought it ended with the final bell. But some stories begin after it. ❝What if the person you were trying to forget... is the only one who ever truly saw you?❞ ❝Can two people who couldn't stand each other... survive what still lingers between them?❞ 💔 A slow-burn, emotionally intense story of what's said in the quiet and felt in the fire. 🌙 For readers who love aching tension, complex characters, and poetic pain.

Healing in the Ruins (ACOTAR - Cassian x OC) by Bia_1989

In a world where love defies the ordinary, Elara and Azriel have forged a bond that surpasses fate itself-a vow marked upon their skin, a promise stronger than any title or ring. But when Elara wakes one night to find their mark beginning to fade, everything she thought was unbreakable is suddenly at risk. As she grapples with the unraveling of their bond, she is forced to confront the true depths of love, sacrifice, and the limits of even the strongest promises. In the wake of heartbreak, Elara must find a way forward in a world forever changed. With unexpected companionship and the weight of memory pressing down, she embarks on a journey of grief, resilience, and the possibility of new beginnings. But some loves are not easily left behind-and some vows are never truly broken. A story of devotion, loss, and the uncharted path between holding on and letting go. *Denotes mature chapters*

Waiting for You Forever by KimEunae54

She had it all-his love, his trust, his unwavering heart. But in a moment of weakness, she chose a path that shattered everything. Her betrayal wasn't just of a promise; it was of a soul deeply entwined with hers. When he discovered the truth, he left-not in anger, but in silence, carrying the pain like a wound too deep to ever heal. He never looked back, and he never returned. She begged for forgiveness, haunted by the weight of what she had done. Days turned into months, months into years, yet her heart remained chained to a hope that refused to die. Every knock at the door, every passing shadow stirred a flicker of belief-maybe today, he'll come back. But he never did. Now she lives with the ghost of her choices, trapped in an endless cycle of regret and longing. His absence echoes louder than any goodbye, and though the world moved on, she stood still-forever waiting for the love she lost, and the forgiveness that never came.

Powerless | Rhysand | ACOTAR by unofficalavenger3000

She was Rhysand's heart-his mate, his wife, his beginning and end. Until she was stolen, her memories rewritten, their bond buried beneath lies. And Rhys? He never stopped searching. Now, she's a stranger to herself, haunted by dreams she can't explain and a pull she doesn't understand. Velaris is unfamiliar. Her family, forgotten. And Rhys is just a shadow on the edge, grieving, waiting. But the truth always finds a way. The story of a High Lady lost, and the High Lord who never let her go. A love that even death couldn't erase.

Afterglow | Azriel | ACOTAR by unofficalavenger3000

She wasn't supposed to be his-too bright, too golden, too alive for someone made of shadows. But the Mother clearly had other plans. They met in the least graceful way possible-her fist to his face, and a bond that snapped like lightning. Sunshine and shadow, drawn together by fate, forged by choice. She's chaos wrapped in laughter and light. He's quiet, lethal, and suddenly incapable of looking away. Somehow, against all odds, they work. A story of opposites crashing together like a storm-and choosing to stay. Sometimes, all it takes is one punch, one spark in the dark, to begin a love worth everything.

Just Friends? | Azriel | ACOTAR by unofficalavenger3000

After a brutal breakup leaves her questioning her worth, she turns to her friend Azriel-the one constant who makes her feel safe. What starts as a drunken kiss turns into something physical, then something harder to define. They're supposed to be just friends with benefits, no strings, no emotions. But between tender mornings, protective gestures, and moments that cut too deep, pretending gets harder. As old wounds resurface and boundaries blur, she's forced to confront what she truly wants. And when it all comes crashing down, Azriel is there, steady as ever. Maybe this was never casual. Maybe it was always love waiting for her to believe she deserved it.

The Bestfriends by septemberlady921

"She was broken by vows-he healed her with silence. Sometimes, love doesn't arrive late... it simply waits its turn. From best friends to soulmates-when the heart finally sees what's always been there." There was once a girl who believed in forever, until her forever turned cruel behind closed doors. Astrid gave her vows to Adolf, a man whose love was a storm with no calm, whose hands never held, whose words only wounded. She stayed, at first, for hope. Then, for fear. Then, for nothing at all. But even in her silence, Someone heard her heart breaking. Tyron-her best friend, her quiet witness. The boy who knew her laugh before the world dimmed it. The man who stood by her shadow, offering light without asking for anything in return. Years passed. Hearts weathered. And when her cage was finally broken, She turned-and there he was. Not waiting. Just... there. As he always was. This is not just a story of love, But of rescue without rescue. Of friendship that grew roots beneath pain. Of two souls learning that sometimes, The greatest love stories are born from the quietest beginnings. ************************************************************************************************** 01302023Monday1246pm edited04232025 ************************************************************************************************** Disclaimer: This story is the author's fruit of imagination...
